He said it has about four to six seats to move people across <br /> between locations in a larger facility. <br /> Chair Price said the entryway has been reviewed previously, and it has a costly price <br /> tag. She asked if this is still the same. <br /> David Stancil said yes, and $2.8 million in funds from years past will be going towards <br /> these improvements. <br /> Chair Price said she thought the $300,000 for the farmhouse renovation was put on <br /> hold. <br /> David Stancil said the house is more in need of remediation than the one at Mill House <br /> Road, and, as such, has been prioritized. <br /> Travis Myren said funds were moved from Millhouse to Blackwood.

She said people do not know they <br /> can use the community centers or about the programs happening there. <br /> Travis Myren said staff would work with the neighborhood associations and provide <br /> more information. <br /> Chair Price asked if it is known when the results of the landfill mitigation assessment will <br /> be received. <br /> David Stancil said staff is providing a status report at the Fairview Community's <br /> neighborhood meeting in May. He said he expects to have the state present in September for <br /> final recommendations on how to move forward. He said he should be able to provide a status <br /> report to the board fairly soon. <br />
